Chapter 13 Puji Dispatches Troops

The weather in southern Fujian has entered the hottest stage, and the flowing glow rolling through the sky is like a flame, which makes people feel irritable in the bottom of their hearts.

After the initial battle of the camp, the Battle of Nanmin, like ordinary warfare, developed in an inherently irresistible form.

In the camp of the 5,000 Qingyan Army at the eastern foot of central Fujian, Xu Ruyu's big sword was hanging, and the morale was like a rainbow. The outposts were all set up on a high ground less than 400 paces from the rear camp of the Southern Guards.

Xu Ruyu would step on the high ground not far from the rear camp of Southern Fujian every day to inspect the terrain, and from such a distance, the soldiers of the rear camp of the Southern Fujian Guard Army could still feel that this young man in a coarse cloth and green shirt was so calm.

Every few hours, more than a dozen letters exposing and condemning the collusion between the Zongzheng family and the Puji bandits would be shot into the camp. The situation in the rear camp was fine, but under Feng Yuanyuan's offensive in the front battalion, those arrow feathers with inscriptions were caught in the rain of arrows like locusts and covered the camp together, and Zongzheng Xunda could not control the inscriptions from spreading to ordinary soldiers.

In the past few days, the truth of the Zhangtai tragedy and the truth about the collusion between the Zongzheng family and the Puji bandits for more than a decade to suppress dissidents and plunder civilians have been exposed to the eyes of ordinary soldiers.

Zong Zhengqu looked at the Yan family that was not mentioned at all in the text, and said indignantly: "It is not my Zongzheng clan that benefits from the pirate trade, Xu Ruyu just leaves aside the Yan family, could it be that there is something involved?" ”

Zongzheng Xunda stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, as if he wanted to wave away a trace of worry, and said: "Xu Ruyu's plan is not only to suppress the morale of our army, but also to separate the relationship between me and the Yan family. ”

"Qu'er didn't think so, but Yan Qingyi led the troops to gather in the south of Yongjiabao for more than half a month, and there has been no movement to this day......

"Don't say more, I have absolute trust in the Yan family, at such a moment, Yan Qingyi will never betray our Zongzheng family."

Zong Zhengqu didn't think so, but when he heard his father say this, he was speechless, and said: "Father wants to urge Yan Qingyi to attack Yongjiabao. ”

Zongzheng Xunda hesitated for a long time and said, "Let someone send a letter to Luodian Village." ”

Luodian Village is located in a mountain col eighteen miles south of Yongjiabao, where the 10,000 elites that Yan Qingyi brought from Putian are stationed.

Yan Xun looked at the creases on the inscription, obviously this inscription was broken into a slender strip by the Qingyan Army and tied to the shaft of the arrow and shot into the camp.

Yan Xun sneered: "Where is this Yan family who trusts me? ”

Yan Qingyi sighed and did not answer.

Yan Xun asked, "Big brother really wants to storm this Yongjia Fort?" ”

"What other options?"

"In the past, the five thousand Qingyan army left the eastern foothills of Minzhong Mountain to hide their whereabouts, and how did you know that Xu Ruyu did not sneak another army at the eastern foothills of Minzhong Mountain?" Yan Xun frowned, and said worriedly, "The gap between Quanzhou and Zhangzhou has to be guarded, my Yan family's 10,000 troops stationed in Luodian Village are not going to attack Yongjiabao, but should go to the southeast foot of Fujian Zhongshan to prepare for trouble, I came here, I have negotiated with Zongzheng Xunda, but now he is going to change his hexagram, and it is time to use Quanzhou Water Camp." ”

Yan Qingyi shook his head and said, "The Quanzhou Water Camp was built by Xu Xing back then, how could Zongzheng Xunda dare to transfer the Quanzhou Water Camp to fight north at this time?" After a pause, he continued, "As long as Yongjiabao is quickly taken, and the armies of the two roads in front of me and the north converge into one place, I don't have to worry about what tricks Xu Ruyu can play." ”

"What if you can't take Yongjiabao?"

Yan Qingyi was slightly stunned, and then said: "There are 35,000 people stationed in the Hutun Gorge of the Southern Fujian Guard, if Xu Ruyu has the courage to drill into Quanzhou, I will let him taste the taste of defeat." Our army has been assembled here for 20 days, and if we don't attack Yongjiabao again, it will be difficult to ensure that Zongzheng Xunda will not have other thoughts, how do you know that Xu Ruyu's purpose is not this? ”

Yan Xun wanted to say more, but seeing an impatient look on Yan Qingyi's face, he secretly sighed and retreated.

Five days after the battle of the camp, the battle of Nanmin, which had been brewing for a long time in the early stage, broke out at the same time in three places quite hastily.

On 27 May, Yan Qingyi led 10,000 troops to launch an offensive against Yongjiabao from the south.

At the mouth of the gorge on the west side of the Hutong Gorge, the elite of the 15,000 Qingyan Army led by Feng Yuanyuan launched an attack on the camp of the front camp of the Southern Fujian Guard.

At the mouth of the gorge on the east side of the Tiger Swallow Gorge, Zongzheng Xunda gathered a huge force of nearly 15,000 people in the rear camp and launched an attack on the Qingyan Army stationed in Taohua Pass.

After a fierce battle, Ban Zhaolin's eyes were slightly tired, thinking of this and trying to hit the morale of the enemy army by all means, tired of the enemy army, I didn't want this first attack to be so ferocious, and the first ** offensive was like the tide after spring, constantly surging up, so that he had no time to organize a counteroffensive.

Xu Ruyu, Tu Wenyong and the others stood on the high ground on the side and did not interfere with their command, but judging from Xu Ruyu's knotted brows and silent expression, he didn't seem to be very satisfied with the battle situation today.

Xu Ruyu looked up and saw Ban Zhaolin walking into the tent, and chuckled: "Zhaolin's battle is too rigid about the protection of the Chinese army, if so, I will go to the forward line with you." ”

Ban Zhaolin hurriedly handed a look to Tu Wenyong.

Tu Wenyong understood and said: "It's better for my lord to stay in the Chinese army and watch the battle, if you really go to the forward line, then the front army will be bloated." ”

Ban Zhaolin smiled bitterly and shook his head, although Tu Wenyong's words dissuaded Xu Ruyu from going to the front line in person, he also hurt himself.

Xu Ruyu didn't say anything, and picked up the curtain and left the tent.

The twilight all around me, and in the chirping of insects, the col became more and more secluded.

Xu Ruyu sighed faintly, on the gentle slope under the darkening night, there were tens of millions of people rushing to fight on it during the day. Today's situation and the position I am in do not allow me to feel anything about it.

Touched by his heart, he faintly heard the sound of battle on the other side of the mountain, and suddenly saw Feng Yuanyuan pointing at his generals with an iron halberd, shouting and scolding him to lead the troops to continue to rush towards the enemy camp, Ziyang Yalan's delicate face covered most of the bloodstains, only the clear eyes were cold and not like a girl.

Tu Wenyong saw Xu Ruyu bowing slightly, staring at a cluster of gloom in the mountains. Following his gaze, he saw a swaying shadow of a tree, which was a common chestnut tree in the mountains of Southern Fujian.

Xu Ruyu looked at Tu Wenyong's puzzled expression, smiled slightly, and said, "The war in Xishan has not yet been suspended. After that, he turned his face to look elsewhere, and the gloom on his face immediately fell into Tu Wenyong's eyes.

Tu Wenyong knew that Xu Ruyu's cultivation had entered a new realm since he provoked a god-killing blow in Jian'an Fort last year, and he was not surprised by this. It's just that every time I see his indifferent back, I feel quite touched, and I just think it's my own illusion.

Xu Ruyu has only been in the past four years since his debut, and the achievements he has accomplished may be the work of a huge family that takes several generations to develop, thinking: Instead of being high-spirited and heroic, the adult seems a little heavy, could it be that the adult is not sure about the war in Southern Fujian?

Ban Zhaolin didn't know what Tu Wenyong was thinking, and pondered Ming's tactics alone.

Zongzheng Xunda gathered heavy troops on the east side of the Hutong Gorge, undoubtedly coming under the banner of Xu Ruyu, and he must have thought in his heart that as long as he repelled the Qingyan Army on this road, although it was not very glorious, it was also a dignified defeat of Xu Ruyu, which had a great impact on the morale of the soldiers on both sides of the Xixiakou and Yongjiabao.

Although it is very likely that the fierce battle at the mouth of the West Gorge will attract the main force of the Southern Fujian Guards in a few days, but can this side block the offensive for a few days?

Ban Zhaolin pulled Tu Wenyong to the side and whispered: "Old Tu, you also saw that the generals sent by Zongzheng Xunda to attack the camp were all transferred from the Chinese military camp, and their morale and combat strength were not affected by the previous days. ”

Tu Wenyong knew that Ban Zhaolin didn't want to fall into a bitter battle, and if he fought hard, the battle situation would develop in the established direction, and the future would be much bleaker.

Tu Wenyong asked, "What does General Ban think?" ”

Ban Zhaolin glanced at Xu Ruyu's back and said, "The virtual army has two wings. ”

"My lord was already dissatisfied with the Chinese army's protection ...... too tightly" Before he could finish speaking, Tu Wenyong had already understood what Ban Zhaolin meant, patted his forehead, and said, "Are you going to let the enemy in and fight again?" ”

Ban Zhaolin nodded and said: "Judging from the enemy's combat intentions today, the road to the Chinese army is particularly fierce, and it is obviously the elite of the enemy's army. ”

"Do you want me to persuade you to go to the rear army tomorrow to watch the battle, but put the banner in the Chinese army?"

Although Xu Ruyu is in the Chinese army, there is no danger at all, even if the enemy army rushes in front of Xu Ruyu, it will be difficult to hurt him at all.

Tu Wenyong knew that Xu Ruyu would naturally not mind, but in the eyes of Shao Haitang, Mei Tierui and others, it would be a little disrespectful for Ban Zhaolin to really want to use Xu Ruyu's Chinese army as bait. Therefore, Ban Zhaolin wanted to use the false Chinese army as bait, but he had to ask Xu Ruyu himself to leave.

Xu Ruyu saw Tu Wenyong and Ban Zhaolin walking over after discussing, revealing an inquiring look.

Tu Wenyong knew that it was not difficult for Xu Ruyu to intercept any conversation between them, even if he used Dan Xi to control his voice, it was estimated that he would not be able to cover his ears and eyes, but Xu Ruyu's jealousy really made his subordinates feel at ease.

Tu Wenyong said: "General Ban found that the enemy army has a strong intention to penetrate in depth, so he wants to plan and use the false army as bait, in that case, the stability of the rear army is extremely important to the Ming Dynasty War, and the class master wants to ask the adult Ming to personally go to the rear army to sit in town." ”

Xu Ruyu didn't think much about it, and said, "Then let Shilong lead Jingwei in the Chinese army." ”

In the past few days, Zhou Shilong led the Jingwei to protect Xu Ruyu's surroundings, never half a step away, as if he was already the head of the Jingwei, hearing Xu Ruyu say this, his expression suddenly brightened, but he turned his head sideways and saw Ban Zhaolin's face showing hesitation, and hurriedly said: "Shilong will definitely live up to the expectations of adults." ”

Zhou Shilong's one-armed beard, far away, is far more conspicuous than Xu Ruyu and Tu Wenyong. Xu Ruyu personally designated him to be in the Chinese army, how could Ban Zhaolin speak out against it, and the hesitation at that moment was just to make Zhou Shilong understand and respect himself.

Xu Ruyu looked at the excitement on Zhou Shilong's face and smiled slightly. When I first entered Dongyang Fort, everyone in Dongyang Fort fell into sorrow, only Zhou Shilong could press down the senseless sorrow, and under his rough appearance, he was an extremely resolute surname, and it was difficult to overcome it.

The next day, the Southern Fujian rear battalion followed the previous tactics and sent thousands of elites to pierce the front army of the Qingyan Army from one point, and the front army was slightly declining, so the Southern Fujian Guards formed a snake formation to stab at the Chinese army, and the fierce offensive penetrated directly into the front of the elite guard led by Zhou Shilong before it was contained.

Xu Ruyu watched from afar, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Although the slight decline of the front army was deliberate, the enemy formed a snake formation and infiltrated the front of the Chinese army, which was extremely fierce, and the defense of our army along the way melted away like Tang Woxue. The slightest instability of the Chinese army will be a devastating blow to the morale of the whole army, and at this time, the thousands of enemy troops coveted outside the camp will rush forward, and they will not give themselves a chance to regain their declining situation.

Xu Ruyu said to Tu Wenyong beside him: "This tactic has a very strong sense of depth, and the selection of the top soldiers is extremely important, if the light soldiers are blocked in the front, then today's battle will be as dull as yesterday, but once the light soldiers break through the defense of the front army, they will go forward and stab in depth, and its purpose is to shake the opponent's Chinese army." Although Zongzheng Xunda can be successful in tactics, he has no sense of depth in strategy, which is really fortunate. ”

Tactics of depth are the specialty of the northern nomads, and the heavy cavalry is a luxury for any kind of force, and the sharp soldiers composed of a small number of heavy cavalry can often give the opponent a strong shock. If this tactic is chosen for infantry combat, light soldiers are required to act as spearheads, without armor or shields, and with medium and long weapons, which requires the courage of ten thousand people

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: Zongzheng Xunda is among the four masters of Southern Fujian, and it is not in vain.

Tu Wenyong looked at the battle situation on the Chinese side with concern, and said, "General Zhou may not be able to stop it." ”

As soon as the Chinese army retreated, it had a great impact on the whole army, and Tu Wenyong was not worried.

Xu Ruyu was not worried, but he was afraid that Ban Zhaolin would not be able to grasp the best opportunity to eat all the enemy's thousands of sharp soldiers. I was hesitating to send someone to the front army to warn him, but I saw that the wings moved.

Xu Ruyu relaxed and said: "If the Chinese army resists, there will be no big defeat, but if you want to eat this way, you must open the depth between the front army and the Chinese army at the moment when the enemy's situation turns from prosperous to declining, and send troops from the two wings to attack the two ribs of the sharp soldier snake formation, and the front soldier will break forward to prevent the enemy's main force from coming to respond, and the enemy's sharp soldier snake formation offensive will be blocked and will be trapped in the encirclement of the two wings and the Chinese army." ”

Tu Wenyong listened to Xu Ruyu while staring intently at the changing battlefield. The nearly 1,000 enemy troops who rushed to the front of our Chinese army suffered few casualties, but they were blocked by the elite of the Chinese army led by Zhou Shilong and could not continue to rush forward. The tail of the enemy's long snake formation wanted to swing to the right, but the 200 elite troops separated from our front army were hanged, and they could not form a defensive formation head to tail, and hundreds of longbowmen were separated from each wing to approach both sides of the long snake formation.

Zongzheng Xunda saw the Long Snake Formation trapped in the Blue Flame Army Formation from afar and could not move, so he hurriedly ordered the formation to launch an offensive. However, he saw that the front army of the Qingyan Army took the initiative to meet more than a dozen hundred-man teams to resist.

Zong Zheng Xun Da looked at the reaction of the two wings of the Qingyan Army and the front army, and knew that Xu Ruyu set up this plan to eat the more than 1,000 elites who attacked the top.

The long snake array could not be combined end to end to form a circular defensive array, and under the accumulation of the longbow and crossbow, no matter how high the combat power was, it would not be able to carry much time, not to mention that the armor on the top soldiers on this road was very small, at least it could not support the defense of the front army of the Blue Flame Army in this formation.

Zongzheng Ji Wang said: "Why don't you retire for the time being? ”

Zong Zheng Xun Da glanced at him and snorted coldly: "How can there be a woman's kindness? He turned his face and ordered: "Beat the drums, attack." ”

Xu Ruyu was so far away that he couldn't see the reaction of Zongzheng Xunda and Zongzheng Jiwang clearly, but when he saw the enemy's main formation pressing here, he sighed and said to Tu Wenyong: "You go to Zhaolin and ask him if he can open the left flank and use the longbowmen on the right flank to crush the enemy troops trapped in my encirclement." ”

The left flank was immediately adjacent to a mountain beam, and the left flank was opened, allowing the enemy troops in the formation to flee, and the enemy troops could not attack from the left flank.

could have used a longbow to completely annihilate the enemy forces in the encirclement, Ban Zhaolin looked at Tu Wenyong with a sinking face, Xu Ruyu just suggested that he had to decide for himself whether to open the left flank or not.

Tu Wenyong saw that Ban Zhaolin hesitated, and said: "If you want to completely eat this thousand enemy elites in the siege, then the casualties of my front army resisting the main force of the enemy army must be not small. ”

Ban Zhaolin thought about it, since the main force of the enemy army came to attack, it was hoped to take advantage of the more than 1,000 mortal soldiers to slack the flexibility of our army's formation, and if the front army was penetrated by the enemy's main force, it was very likely to suffer evil consequences. Adults can see through it at a glance, but I am still greedy for this total annihilation.

Thinking of this, Ban Zhaolin soaked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly listened to Tu Wen Yongyang's strategy, opened a gap in the left flank, and let the enemy flee from it.

Xu Ruyu walked Tu Wenyong over and said, "Did you suggest that Zhou Shilong chase after him?" ”

Tu Wenyong was slightly stunned, didn't feel that something was wrong, nodded, and his gaze stopped on Xu Ruyu's face.

Xu Ruyu sighed lightly and said: "Open the gap from the left flank, and the routed troops will not be able to return to the enemy camp, so it is better to let them escape alive." ”

Tu Wenyong didn't think so, but he still said respectfully: "Belong to the general who is looking for a class? ”

"That's it, the military order has been issued, how can it be easily changed? However, Zhou Shilong was strictly ordered to only chase ten miles. ”

Seeing that Xu Ruyu decisively released more than 1,000 elites from the left flank, Zong Zheng Xunda knew that there was no more chance, so he ordered the troops engaged in the front army of the Qingyan Army to slowly withdraw from the battlefield and end today's battle.

The battle in front of Yongjiabao was like a perfunctory effort by both sides to expand the scale of the Battle of Southern Fujian. In Yan Qingyi's view, without the cooperation of the Southern Fujian Guards in the north, attacking Yongjiabao from the south alone would exhaust the 10,000 elites in his hands, and he might not be able to conquer Yongjiabao. The Yongjiabao Hutian Volunteer Battalion has more than 4,000 troops, of which 800 Baoding is the family of Yongjiabao, how can the combat strength be too weak, not to mention, Wei Yan led 500 Qingjiang cavalry battalion soldiers into Yongjiabao, so that the battle at the head of the city wall is not very beneficial to his side.

Before there was a large number of siege equipment, Yan Qing was unwilling to attack Yongjia Fort, even if he had siege equipment and the cooperation of the north, he had full confidence in capturing Yongjia Fort. However, the main force of the Southern Fujian Guards was hung by the Qingyan Army on the east and west gorges of the Hutun Gorge respectively, and it was impossible to divide the troops to assist in the attack on Yongjiabao.

Wei Yan is the captain of the Qingjiang Cavalry Battalion, but he followed Xu Ruyu for three years from birth to death, and his status is equivalent to that of Ming Xi, Wei Yu and others, and he is not comparable to ordinary captains, not to mention that the combat power of the Hutian Yi Battalion is far inferior to the regular army of the Qingyan Army. Wei Yan's status is actually much higher than that of the captain of the Ma Jie Pavilion, the field protection camp.

However, Wei Yan knew that if he wanted to defend Yongjia Fort, he had to be presided over by the Majie Pavilion, so he rode his horse into the fort and said straight to the Majie Pavilion: "If there is a fight, don't forget me." ”

Among the generals of the Qingyan Army, Wei Yan practiced the fastest. When Zhang Zhongdao was in Qingjiang last year, Wei Yan was able to fight with him for nearly 100 moves, of course, when the two were fighting, Wei Yan could play unscrupulously, but Zhang Zhongdao had to restrain the power of some moves.

Wei Yan's strength at this time is almost on the second grade, and after pondering, he can enter the first grade.

Yongyang, Qingjiang two mansions, there are only eight first-grade masters, only Zhang Zhongdao, Jiang Lingtian, and Meng Yi are cultivated to reach the first grade, Xiao Wuye, Mei Liting, and Wei Yan's cultivation is considered to be the second grade, Ao Fang, Wei Yu, Ming Xi, Liang Bao, Shen Binglu and others can be regarded as the second grade, and between the second and third grades, it includes the teaching of Yanwutang and most of the generals who are in the rank of captain, such as Yang Shang, Ning Yueshan, Xing Kunmin, Ma Jieting, Ban Zhaolin, and Ziyang Yalan.

Zhang Xu is in the rank of general of Wei, but he only has three grades of cultivation, he was originally born in a private village, and later he had no time to practice because of his busy military affairs, which can be said to be a pity, but Zhang Xu did not feel that he often said in front of people: "The main general will go out to meet the enemy, which shows that the general trend has gone, what is the use of struggling, it is better to have a happy battlefield." ”

Xue Mingrui walked up to the fort wall and saw Wei Yan sitting casually on the half-human-high battlement wall, facing the blue rolling hills outside the fort, and he couldn't see any look on his red face.

Feng Lin stood against the wall, glanced back at Xue Mingrui, and did not speak.

When the Qingyan Army was first founded in Shangnan, there were less than 300 people, but they were all the elite of the elite. After entering the Lishui River Valley, 300 people were organized into the Qingjiang Cavalry Camp and the Qingjiang Water Camp respectively.

After the battle on the north bank of the Lishui River Valley, these elites let Xu Ruyu be integrated into the Qingjiang cavalry camp. Limited to the number of war horses, the establishment of the Qingjiang cavalry battalion was only more than 350 people. During the war, he mostly acted as a strategic reconnaissance horseman, and was stationed near the Qingjiang Political Hall to protect the safety of the Political Hall and Xu Ruyu.

Wei Yan, Qingliu, Fenglin and others are the leaders of the guards, and their status in Xu Ruyu's mind is not comparable to that of other generals at the same level.

However, Qingliu and more than 40 elites of the Qingjiang cavalry battalion sacrificed themselves when they guarded Xu Boying and Ziyang out of Quanzhou in autumn, which can be said to be the biggest loss since the establishment of the Qingjiang cavalry battalion.

Xue Mingrui knew that Xu Ruyu sent the Qingjiang cavalry battalion to Yongjiabao, and Yongjiabao would inevitably be a bitter battle, and Yongjiabao would also be the key to the battle of Southern Fujian.

Wei Yan turned around, looked at Xue Mingrui, remembered that Xu Ruyu had a lot of praise for the battle of protecting the field under his command, and thought: As long as this battle is over, it will be of great use, squinting at the wind forest, and hesitating whether to release him from the Qingjiang cavalry camp after this battle.

At the beginning, there were more than 200 bandits who followed Xu Ruyu, half of them were Han Yi, and only Wei Yu, Ming Xi, and Wei Yan became senior generals in the army.

Feng Lin couldn't guess what Wei Yan was thinking, but he was a little strange about his silence today, pointing to the fireworks rising in the night in the north, and said: "Everyone says that General Feng is a silent beast, I don't think it's false at all, and the offensive has not stopped until now." ”

A bright face flashed in Wei Yan's heart, and he was slightly stunned, and said secretly: Why did you think of her at this time? raised his brows, shook his head impatiently, as if he wanted to erase the bright face in his heart, and said in a rough voice: "Fenglin, you lead a team to take a look, remember, don't itch your hands to make trouble for Lao Tzu to come back." ”

At the mouth of the gorge on the west side, on the position of the front camp of the Southern Fujian Guards, Ziyang Yalan's bright face was mostly covered by the bright light helmet, and her bright eyes reflected the red light of the fireworks, staring intently at the ever-changing battlefield.

Feng Yuanyuan led 15,000 Qingyan Army to attack the front camp of the Southern Fujian Guard Army was much more fierce than the battle at the mouth of the gorge on the east side.

Feng Yuanyuan used the only two stone-throwing crossbows to gradually clear the rudimentary parapet walls and barracks of the front camp of the Southern Fujian Guards, and constantly organized small groups of elites to attack and harass the enemy camp, and now began to shake the entire enemy front camp on a large scale.

The position of the front camp of Nanmin was quite clever, so that the Qingyan Army had to attack from the front.

"Even if I attack from the front, I must also let the enemy feel my unshakable will and determination to capture the front camp." Feng Yuanyuan's voice was cut to the core, and there was no doubt about it.

From the day before yesterday, the Baiyi Army led by Minna and Ziyang Yalan and the Xiaowei Army led by Feng Yuanyuan took turns to launch a fierce and resolute attack on the Nanmin Qianying Battalion. In the past three days, the casualties on both sides have reached more than 2,000 on each side.

Zong Zhengqu's face was grim.

The battle at the mouth of the East Gorge did not go well, and the 15,000 heavy soldiers in the rear battalion did not pose an effective threat to the 5,000 Qingyan Army led by Xu Ruyu himself.

The morale of the former battalion generals was already weak, but the advantage of relying on the camp to barely maintain it was completely eliminated by Feng Yuanyuan's non-stop attack. If such an offensive was maintained until Ming Yue, he could not guarantee that the front battalion would not be defeated by Feng Cheng.

Zong Zhengqu couldn't help but be secretly anxious, Feng Yuanyuan's combat intention was already quite obvious, to defeat the front camp and open the way to Yongjiabao. If that is the case, in the first stage of the Battle of Southern Fujian, Xu Ruyu will be able to occupy an incomparable advantage.

Zong Zheng Ji looked at Zong Zheng Xunda, who was frowning, although Zong Zheng Qu did not send a letter to help, but a military information came over in half an hour, which was tantamount to indicating that the situation in the front camp was already very critical. If the front camp collapses, Yongjiabao will let Xu Ruyu firmly grasp it. If Xu Ruyu's intention is only this, then why did he make such a big move in Longyan and Zhangtai?

"Why don't you transfer the 5,000 elites of the Chinese army to the front camp?"

Zongzheng Xunda shook his head and said: "Now that the camp in front of the front camp is completely damaged, and five thousand soldiers and horses are transferred over, the front camp may not be able to bargain with only a small advantage in troops." He sighed lightly and said with emotion: "Since Xu Ruyu's debut, there have been a lot of rumors, but the world has not paid enough attention to the rumors of his military training in the East China Sea. ”

Zongzheng Ji Wang said: "The eyes of the world have attracted the Qingfeng Elite Cavalry, and now there is no formed cavalry in the Qingyan Army, it is inevitable to be negligent, and I didn't expect that the foot soldiers he trained were so powerful." ”

When Xu Ruyu reformed the military system in the East China Sea, Fang Su was the commander in charge of infantry training, and Zhang Jidao was the commander in charge of cavalry training, which also made Fang Su and Zhang Jidao the most powerful among the young generation in the East China Sea. The Qingfeng elite cavalry led by Xu Ruyu galloped on the battlefield of the East China Sea, and the world only regarded him as inheriting the thaumaturgy of Wu Chu Qinghe and being good at cavalry.

Xu Ruyu's rise in Qingjiang until the Battle of Fuzhou, the integration of the people's combat strength, did not have enough time to fully implement the infantry system, and the serious lack of middle and low-level generals also made the training effect not obvious, so in the Battle of Fuzhou, Xu Ruyu completely relied on superior forces to achieve a complete victory in that battle.

However, after attacking for three days and three nights in a row, the Qingyan Army at the mouth of the West Gorge did not abate; The Qingyan Army at the mouth of the East Gorge did not show any weakness in the face of the Southern Fujian Guard, which was three times its size. Only then did Zongzheng Xunda know that he could not completely use troops to assess the strength of the two sides.

At the same time that Zongzheng Xunda couldn't figure out Xu Ruyu's intentions, there was a commotion outside the camp, and they all shouted: "The Qingyan Army has fled, the Qingyan Army has fled." ”

Zongzheng Xunda and Zongzheng Ji looked at each other, I don't know what happened, they went out of the camp together, but they saw the scout cavalry galloping over to report: "The Qingyan Army of Peach Blossom Pass evacuated north in the middle of the night and built a fort in the direction. ”

Zongzheng Xunda and Zongzheng Ji Wang rode their horses to a high ground, and looked at the scattered camps of the Qingyan Army under Liao Liao Xingchen, everything looked so hasty.

Zongzheng Xunda flashed a thought: Puji Island sent troops? Looking at Zong Zheng, Ji Wang also had a surprise in his eyes that he couldn't suppress, knowing that his thoughts were the same as his own. It's just that I don't know how many soldiers Puji has sent out, and he will let Xu Ruyu withdraw in such a hurry?

Zong Zheng Xunda said with emotion: "The Qingyan Army attaches great importance to the reconnaissance and cavalry intelligence, which is worth learning from in my southern Fujian. If I had known the news of Puji's dispatch earlier, I would have sent troops to entangle him here. He said with regret: "In order to prevent Xu Ru's foolish plan, before getting the confirmed news and strength of Puji's troops, the guard of the rear camp must not be relaxed, and I will lead 2,000 elite troops to join the 5,000 troops of the Chinese army to support the front camp first." ”
